The GLOBAL CANCER CARE AND RESEARCH INSTITUTE ® was founded in the year 2016 to cater for free cancer screening and ensuring there is proper referrals.
Its main goal is to ensure there is an equitable distribution of free cervical, breast and prostate cancer services to all the Men/women of reproductive age insured or un-insured. It also ensures all the girls 10-14 years old are vaccinated against HPV.
We believe in the modality and the methodology that no man/woman should die of prostate, breast and cervical cancer since it’s a disease that is treatable and manageable if early screening, vaccination and correct diagnosis techniques are instituted.
Meanwhile we are currently working with several cancer institutes for the treatment and diagnostic procedures as part of our referrals. We are advocating for these tests to be free to all and mandatory to our population. This will ensure we achieve our mission by giving these expensive tests to those who cannot afford them.

At the core of our mission is a commitment to ensuring equitable access to high-quality cancer care for all individuals, regardless of socioeconomic status or geographic location. We believe that every person deserves the opportunity to lead a healthy and fulfilling life, free from the burden of cancer. Through our tireless efforts, we aspire to create a world where cancer is no longer a formidable threat, but a manageable condition that can be effectively prevented and treated.
Our vision at the Global Cancer Care and Research Institute ® is to envision a future where cancer is conquered, and every individual has the opportunity to live a life free from the fear of this devastating disease. We aspire to "stop cancer before it starts" by promoting early, regular screening and fostering a culture of proactive health management within communities.

Our vision extends beyond the boundaries of medical care to encompass holistic approaches to cancer prevention and management. We envision a world where individuals are empowered with knowledge and resources to make informed decisions about their health and well-being.
Furthermore, we envision a future where cancer is no longer a life-threatening disease, but a manageable condition with positive outcomes. Through collaboration with government agencies, healthcare providers, and international partners, we aim to establish comprehensive cancer control programs that prioritize prevention, early detection, and equitable access to care. Together, we can realize our vision of a world where cancer is conquered, and all individuals have the opportunity to lead healthy, fulfilling lives.
Kenya lacks dedicated breast, cervical, and prostate cancer training centers utilizing artificial intelligence, hindering advancements in cancer diagnosis and treatment.
Kenya lacks basic modalities such as "see and treat" and "follow-up" strategies, crucial for effective cancer screening, are not widely implemented or updated in Kenya.
There is a dire need of partnerships with major technological firms offering access to screening, research, and training equipment like the GYNIUS® colposcope, equipped with artificial intelligence capabilities.
The is absence of comprehensive regional cancer reports and patient follow-up mechanisms at the sub-county and ward levels hampers effective cancer management and surveillance.
Kenya's national research and investment in cancer research and methodology fall short of addressing the growing burden of cancer, impeding progress in prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.
Kenya faces a shortage of trained oncologists and specialists in the field of cancer care, limiting access to specialized treatment and comprehensive care for cancer patients.
In order to effectively detect and manage cancer, the Global Cancer Care and Research Institute relies on a variety of screening tools. These essential tools include:
These tools are essential for early detection, accurate diagnosis, and targeted treatment of various types of cancer. Ensuring access to these screening tools is crucial for improving cancer outcomes and reducing the burden of this disease on individuals and communities.
Global Cancer Care and Research Institute is a dedicated nonprofit organization committed to providing quality cancer screening services in Kenya. Our mission is to accelerate cervical, breast, and prostate cancer screening, treatment, and advocacy.
